I arrived at San Jose int and started searching for my plane. When I finally found it, it was 3 AM. Then I looked for a co-pilot, but because I couldn't find one, I thought, let's take my little rat with me, he's a good navigator :heheh: I entered the cockpit, did a little check. Everything seemed fine, except I couldn't find an ejection handle. Then I realized I wasn't flying a F16 :doh: Started the engine and took off. There was no wind, the weather was clear. I enjoyed the flight. When I was at about 10 miles, I realized that I didn't know how to land :D I searched for a handbook and read the instructions. In the end I landed savely ;-)

Yeah always remind yourself that you haven't got afterburner to kick in for a go around in a 172. And no fly by wire. And no 20mm cannon for the Caravans that will get in your way at Santa Rosa (Trust me they will)

I always take a Minimi with me, so that isn't a problem :-D
